Real Estate in Cambodia

Last updated on Jan 10, 2024

Summary: An expat should search for a home to buy in Cambodia by researching the local real estate market and consulting with a real estate agent who is familiar with the area. It is important to consider the location, size, and price of the property. Foreigners are allowed to own property in Cambodia, but there are restrictions on the type of property that can be purchased. Foreigners are not allowed to own land, but they can purchase condominiums, apartments, and villas. Houses in Cambodia typically include basic amenities such as running water, electricity, and air conditioning. Some houses may also include additional amenities such as a swimming pool, garden, or terrace.

How do I find a place to live in Cambodia?

We asked expats how they chose their neighborhood and found a place to live. They answered:

"One of the best ways to find a place to live in Cambodia is to use online resources such as websites like Expat.com, Cambodia Expat Network, and Cambodia Property. These websites provide listings of available properties, as well as information about the local rental market. Additionally, it is possible to find a place to live by asking around in the local community, as many people in Cambodia are willing to rent out their homes. Finally, it is also possible to find a place to live by contacting a real estate agent, who can help you find a suitable property," remarked one foreigner who made the move to Cambodia.
